First of all, we love the house. It is the perfect place to gather as a family. And the hosts really have thought about everything, including the importance of coffee, comfortable beds, and kitchen where you can really cook. Plus, the house has been very clean both times we have stayed there. It is roomy and yet cozy at the same time. It is well located in Providence.

Spacious, beautiful house for family gathering!!

Our kid graduated from RISD and family came to stay here with us. All the rooms were beautiful and we enjoyed cooking and streaming old movies together. There was another group occupying a top-floor apartment in the house, but we only heard footsteps through the ceiling and it was not disruptive. Wonderful stay!!

Beautiful, we’ll-equipped home for family gathering

The property is a beautifully maintained, charming and highly functional large home, perfect for gathering friends and family for celebrations or local visits to PVD. Well equipped kitchen, making cooking easy and very comfortable beds. Exceptionally convenient to Brown (walkable) and other local spots. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return for future PVD visits. Hosts are very responsive and accommodating to requests like early check in where feasible.

Excellent Location

Great location. The neighborhood is quite charming considering Providence is a city. My guests and I travelled to attend a conference at the Rhode Island Convention Center. The home is spacious with plenty of room for entertaining. We particularly loved the professional waffle maker.

Visit for Thanksgiving

We visited Providence to celebrate Thanksgiving with old family friends. Our adult children and spouses joined us. This house was an old home with beautiful, large rooms and modern, well equipped kitchen. The beds were super comfortable. It was in a lovely section of town, easy distance to Thayer Street and good shops. An excellent stay.

Beautiful home, super location, gracious hosts!

We were in town to visit elderly relatives and brought our grandmother along to see her sister and brother in law. The first floor bedroom was perfect for her, and the rest of our family had more than enough room upstairs. All guests of all ages loved this house and the little ones really enjoyed the playground across the street. The hosts were fabulous. If we visit again, we will certainly stay in this home again! Thank you so much.
